Golden Butterfly
Aurora "Rory" Moonridge survived the unthinkable: kidnapped at eight, experimented on and left for dead. Now, at twenty-four, she's clawed her way to becoming Alpha of Shadow Moon pack, hiding her scars behind a mask of strength and the lie of a dead mate. She's convinced she's too damaged to ever bond with anyone.
Then she meets him.
He's powerful. Dangerous. Infuriating. Their clashes are legendary—two Alphas who can't stand to be in the same room. But beneath the hostility, something else simmers that neither of them understands.
As Rory navigates treacherous pack politics and fights to keep her secrets buried, her past comes roaring back. The scientist who tortured her is hunting her again, backed by a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of power.
Council members are manipulating politics from the shadows. A human president is pulling strings she can't see. And worst of all, someone from her own bloodline is orchestrating it all.
When the truth finally surfaces that she and the Alpha she can't stop thinking about are fated mates, everything changes.
He's been living under a witch's prophecy for ten years… a prophecy that his true mate will be his destruction. And now that mate is her.
With a curse threatening to turn her into his killer, enemies closing in from all sides, and a war that will cost the lives of those she loves most, Rory must choose: run from the bond she never saw coming or fight for a love that could destroy them both.
Because some bonds are forged in blood and betrayal. Some loves are worth breaking curses for. And Aurora Moonridge is done being anyone's victim!
A dark paranormal romance featuring a traumatized heroine finding her strength, enemies-to-lovers tension, found family, political intrigue, and a love that breaks fate itself.
